International Women's Day: Marchers around the world call for equality
- 4 years ago
International Women's Day: Marchers around the world call for equality. Marches to raise awareness of discrimination against women are taking place in cities around the world to mark International Women's Day. This one (above) in the capital, Madrid, was organised by a feminist group demanding equal working rights, women's right to abortion and an end to violence against women.
At a march in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, women from numerous organisations and trade unions demanded the government revoke what they see as gender discriminative laws - such as the "omnibus law" - and create new laws to protect women.
Women at Turkey's border with Greece held a demonstration demanding they be permitted to cross during International Women's Day. There have been fierce clashes between migrants and Greek border security as the former seek access to the EU
Bangladeshi women played basketball on the outskirts of the capital, Dhaka, in a match organised for International Women's Day. Here, people hold placards calling for an end to violence against women as they demonstrate in Islamabad.
Women in the Spanish capital Madrid's Sol Square shouted and bashed pots and pans together to mark the start of the International Women's Day.
